Family 4x4 fun day for charity, teams compete to win car

June 6 will have a cross-section of hardcore, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts through to families looking for a bit of rough and tumble fun - all in the name of charity for a great local association.

Ken Mills Toyota's 4xFun event will be a day full of adventure for Coast families looking to put their four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive cars through their paces, with all proceeds from the day going towards Coast family support group SunnyKids Children's Charity.

The event will have an eight-hour time frame for entrants to complete 12 checkpoints, testing out competitors' strategy and strengths, with a new Toyota Rav4 up for grabs for the winner, who must complete all 12 checkpoints to be in the running for the prize.

"The event has been designed to include something for everyone from serious 4x4 buffs to families out for a day in their AWD and one lucky team will Win a RAV4 in the Sunshine Coast's ultimate adventure for friends and families," SunnyKids CEO and founder Chris Turner said.

Cr Jason O'Pray was part of a group which earlier this week managed to get a sneak peek at the track, constructed by a local civil engineering firm, which will feature among the 12 cross-country checkpoints.

Post-competition, families will be treated to a night of celebration, with live music, food and drinks, and overnight camping at the festival village, hosted by The House With No Steps at Doonan.
